In her hand, strings of intricate code began to take shape, transfiguring into a spear that glinted menacingly in the light. The spear seemed to pulsate with an abnormal electric energy, sending arcs of blue lightning that crackled and danced in all directions. The black and blue substance that comprised the spear was in a state of fluctuation, its shape and form akin to water, ebbing and flowing mysteriously.
As she held the spear, the same material began to permeate across her body, melding itself into a suit of armor that seemed to be molded uniquely to her figure. The armor, which was crafted from the same black and blue substance as the spear, had a contradictory nature to it - it seemed to be rigid, as strong as steel, but at the same time, flowing as though it was suspended in a vacuum.
As she stepped outside of the building, her eyes were drawn to the sight of a dragon hovering far above the school building. Its massive body was covered in large obsidian-colored scales, each one perfectly formed like sharp edges and glistening in the sunlight.
The dragon's underbelly was a stark contrast to its dark scales, consisting of plates that were a deep, blood-red color. These scales were smaller in size but still were perfectly formed, giving the dragon a menacing appearance.
Suddenly, she got into a crouching position, as if she were a spring being compressed, ready to launch into the air. With a burst of energy, she was propelled upward, the ground beneath her feet cracking and shattering like glass, sending up clouds of dust and debris that engulfed the ground below. Her ascent was swift and powerful, and she rose high into the sky overshadowing the dragon.
As she reached the peak of her jump, she rotated her body, harnessing the momentum of her movement to propel the spear forward with incredible force. The sound of the spear cutting through the air echoed throughout the nearby campus, creating a deafening sonic boom that reverberated across the landscape.
With pinpoint accuracy, the spear found its target, piercing the left wing of the dragon with a resounding thud. The force of the impact was so great that it pulled the wing along with the spear's momentum, causing the dragon to lose control and crash into the ground with tremendous force. The impact was so powerful that it destroyed the land beneath the dragon, causing a crater to form underneath it.
As she descended towards the ground, the dragon raised itself off of the ground and turned its head towards her. Its piercing gaze locked onto her as she landed with a loud thud. Suddenly, a deep, audible hum filled the air, reverberating across a 20-mile radius, before abruptly falling silent. The dragon then released a massive beam of energy, consisting of pure mana, directly towards her. She deftly dodged out of the way, continuing to do so as the dragon turned its head towards her, Shifting the beam of mana in an attempt to hit her. The power behind the beam was immense, and the force of it was enough to cause the ground to shake and trees to sway violently. Anything caught in the beam disappeared, reduced to atoms.
The attacker, seeing as utilizing the form of a dragon was ineffective transformed into a human once again. Taking hold of the two swords on their back the man ran towards her, closing the distance in a matter of seconds. Before she could react, the man swung both swords, catching her between them as if she were a piece of paper between scissors.
As the swords made contact with the flowing black armor, they were repulsed, unable to make contact. Seeing as this was the case the man instead performed a front kick which sent her flying backward toward the campus building exploding through a wall with her momentum.
From outside she suddenly heard a Deep distorted voice resound throughout the area. "IT IS TIME TO END THIS." Dashing through the gaping hole in the wall the man swung his blade with inhumane accuracy at her neck.
Sparks flew as the blade was countered with a weapon constructed from code. Getting off the ground she reassumed a fighting stance. As the man rained down blows she parried, each causing her to struggle under the power of each blow.
Suddenly the man jumped backward and from the ground where he was standing, spikes of earth protruded from the ground. His sword began to glow a deep blue color and his eyes followed suit and similarly turned blue. He gave a completely different aura compared to before.
Her body was paralyzed, leaving her completely immobile. As her eyes scanned the scene before her, she knew that there was no escaping the imminent danger that was about to befall her. She frantically began to concoct a plan, her mind working at lightning speed. She quickly started to assemble lines of code, carefully crafting a complex symbol made up of concentric circles that she then started to place on herself. Despite her pounding heart and trembling hands, she remained focused on her task, while continuing to wield a sword with one hand.
She stood rooted in one spot as he made multiple lighting fast passes at her using the sword. All she was able to do was, block the incoming attacks with her blade as she continued fabricating the symbol.
Finishing right in the nick of time, she bent backward to avoid a slash to the head, instead, it grazed her face slightly leaving a cut down her left cheek.
At that moment, her gaze met the eyes of her assailant, and he was startled to see that her eyes appeared to be emitting a luminous, captivating purple light. As their eyes locked, the world around him transformed into an eerie, surreal landscape, with the ground beneath him dissolving into an endless, inky sea of black liquid. Above him, a tumultuous sky roiled with dark, stormy clouds, and jagged bolts of dazzling purple lightning pierced through the turbulent atmosphere. The entire scene was otherworldly and mesmerizing, with a ghostly energy that seemed to emanate from the woman's piercing gaze.
Around her, hands rose out from the liquid clawing, grasping, struggling pulling themselves out of the endless sea of ink. Their movements were synchronized and precise, akin to a legion of undead assassins trained to kill without mercy. Each of the shadowy figures turned towards the attacker with an otherworldly focus, their eyes glowing with a dim, ominous light. It was as if the very darkness itself had risen against him in an inescapable wave.
As she watched on from the sideline, she suddenly felt a searing pain from her abdomen. A hot liquid started to flow uncontrollably from her mouth. Looking down slightly she saw a blade covered in crimson protruding from her armor. "U-Urgh… how d-did you get behind me…"
The sea of black liquid and the shadow assassins all faded out of existence like they were but a dream. The man was standing behind her and whispered into her ear "It isn't your fault, but a monster like you should not be allowed to exist…" He pulled out his sword and she fell to the ground. Unbeknownst to him the symbol made out of the script of code had already been transferred to him the moment he had run her through with his blade.
Looking at the school campus he remarked to himself, "I should probably take care of this entire place while I'm at it. He began changing form and floated high into the sky.
The sky was awash with a warm golden light that radiated from a single point, casting an eerie glow over everything around it. There was a floating ring, seemingly suspended in mid-air. This ring was adorned with a multitude of eyes, each one staring intently at the world below. Attached to the ring were a pair of wings, which flapped gently in the breeze, causing the ring to sway back and forth. But the most intriguing aspect of this strange object was the ball of golden light that floated in its center, casting a brilliant glow in all directions.
As the being with the glowing orb of light floated in the sky, its brightness intensified with every passing moment. It seemed as though the Attack it was about to unleash was going to be catastrophic. However, just as it was about to release its power, the Black liquid began to flow from the symbol in its body, quickly encasing the floating entity.
The outside of the black liquid encasing started to crack open, revealing a blinding light that engulfed everything around it. In a split second, there was a deafening BOOM that reverberated across the land.
From a satellite view, the scene was unimaginable. The entire continent of Javab was being torn apart, engulfed in flames, and shrouded in smoke. The once-thriving cities and towns were reduced to rubble, and the vast landscapes were unrecognizable.
The aftermath of the Incident was devastating. No living creatures survived the cataclysmic event, and the entirety of the continent became an uninhabited wasteland, forever scarred by the power of the Attack.
163 years later, in Trizen, Tekuno.
In the heart of Trizen's bustling city center lies a serene park, where the sound of rustling leaves and chirping birds provide a welcome respite from the chaotic city life. As the sun sets on the horizon, a gentle breeze picks up, causing the lush foliage to sway gently in the twilight sky. Suddenly, amid the park, a small ball of orange light appears out of nowhere. It slowly begins to grow in size, gradually taking the form of a human being. As the light fades away, a woman dressed in an elegant white school uniform emerges, her long, flowing purple hair cascading down her back like a waterfall. Her eyes, a mesmerizing shade of purple sapphires, sparkle in the fading light, while her delicate facial features add to her ethereal beauty. She sat in the spot she appeared, seemingly in a daze, 'What am I doing here? Where in the world am I?? In fact, who am I ??? Hold on. Calm down. Come on, think, who am I…'
As she sat on the ground, lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching. Turning her head in the direction of the sound, she saw a man walking towards her. His face had a single, serious expression, and his piercing gaze was fixed on her. He had a head of black hair, with faint red accents on the ends of his locks. His blazing orange eyes shone like the fire of a hearth, and his face was somewhat chiseled. She then heard him talk to himself out loud, "I thought there was a disturbance with the mana in this park, but all I find is a strange girl sitting on the ground…" As he looks closer at her his eyes slightly widen for a split second before returning to their previous state of uninterest. "What is your name kid."
Without her having to think about it she instinctively answered the man, "Tokei Makina."
He then smiles and replies, "My name is Nanik Iman. I have a few questions to ask… Tokei or if you prefer me to be more formal, Miss Makina…"
